A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor structure including a semiconductor substrate having an active zone with a channel; a through silicon via (TSV) structure including a power TSV configured to transmit power and a signal TSV configured to transmit a signal; and a keep-out zone located a predetermined distance away from the TSV structure and bounded by the active zone. The TSV structure penetrates the semiconductor substrate. The keep-out zone includes a first element area a first distance away from the power TSV, and a second element area a second distance away from the signal TSV.
